Welcome Jimmy.
 Judging from the photos posted it doesn't really look like your keris really needs too much cleaning. I would just oil the blade if i were you. |

Welcome to the forum Jimmy.
Like David said, your keris needed only some oil. I really hope the lime didn't do too much damage to the etching. |

I would say that the pamor is generally pendaringan kebak (dense pamor throughout the blade) + pamor bungkus alright, resembles by the abstract shown on the first picture-on the bottom center of the blade. I'm not going far into tangguh as it is beyond my understanding, but it seems like you have a 20c keris there (probably I'm wrong). Hilt looks Madurese but not very clear, what is it made of? Maybe you want to post the picture of the sheath sometime. The hilt ring (mendak) looks Javanese. Dapur (blade shape/style) might be Tilam Upih. |

It might just be the photos themselves, but i am sorry to say that your cleaning does appear to have lessened the contrast in your pamor.
